Explore the adventure as “Die Baby Die” takes you through smooth instrumentals and raw vocal power in the video below. Listen to the full album from Nuclear Blast here.
The scene turns to black and white as you’re transported to a quiet bar with a lit cigar and the soundtrack of jazz singer Cecile McLorin Salvant. The track “You’re My Thrill” hypnotizes you into losing all sense of time and stress. The jazz sensation reels listeners into a world full of soul and passion. Slow dance to the rich melodies of Dreams and Daggers via Mack Avenue Records as the excitement of love thematically lines the new release created from Salvant.
Lucinda Williams’ gritty vocals radiate a state of absolute satisfaction. Her natural ability to pick up the guitar and simply define a track with her blues-infused country melody makes the listening experience that much more enjoyable.
